HTTP: Adobe Multiple Products BMP Image Header Handling Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in multiple Adobe products. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.

Extended Description

Multiple Adobe products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. The vulnerability occurs when handling malformed image header data in image files. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user running one of the applications. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
